The latest Finals odds from BetOnline are listed below. The change column represents how much a team’s odds have improved or decreased since our last update (5/13). The MOV represents the average margin of victory for each team this season. This can be useful in setting your own point spread. For example, the Warriors (6.5) versus the Blazers (3.6) on a neutral court should have an approximate line of a Warriors -3. This is of course only a starting point for the line, but it should give you a good place to start when estimating matchup odds.
